While there, she met MGM head Louis B. Mayer, who offered her a movie contract in Hollywood, where she became a film star from the late 1930s to the 1950s.[3] During her first marriage, Lamarr developed an interest in applied science, and bored by her acting career, utilized this knowledge as an inventor. At the commencement of World War II, keen to aid the Allied war effort, she identified jamming of Allied radio communications by theAxis as a particular problem, and with composer George Antheil, developed spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat it.[4]Though the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, the principles of her work are now incorporated into modern Wi-Fi, CDMAand Bluetooth technology,[5][6][7] and this work led to her being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.[4][8] more......
